SAULT STE. MARIE, MICH. —The Sault Tribe Business Alliance (SBTA) Founders Committee is holding its kick-off event April 26 at Kewadin Casinos in Sault Ste. Marie.

The 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. agenda begins with a welcome from the Sault Tribe Board of Directors and executive management, introductions and brief company overviews of the STBA founding members from South Carolina, Wisconsin, Colorado, California and throughout Michigan.

This event is for tribal member business owners, tribal members interested in starting a business and others doing business with the Sault Tribe. Kewadin Casinos has stepped up as the first to sponsor this event and we plan to attract others to assure this first event can be attended free of charge.
